For the Glory of God! The Temple ensures we will no longer rent and neither will we worry about encountering space issues.

June 2013

The projected cost for the construction and furnishing of the Temple is $38,000,000.

We will fund the Temple Project through building pledges and other capital financing. New Life Covenant Church is seeking pledged donations from our members to be used toward obtaining collateral for the construction of our project.

Our goal is $10,000,000.

No. We are asking each NLC member to prayerfully seek God's wisdom and guidance about your participation in the NLC Capital Stewardship Campaign.

Allow God to speak to your heart through prayer. Read scripture passages that speak about stewardship and giving such as II Chronicles 27.

Members will have three years to fulfill their pledge commitments.

Absolutely! All pledges matter, regardless of amount. As we participate, according to our ability, God multiplies our giving.

Commitment cards will be used to record your pledge and can be turned in on Commitment Sunday, May 22, 2011.

A commitment card helps the church to understand what kinds of contributions to expect and when to expect them. By completing this card, you allow the church to move forward with a thoughtful and wise financial plan.

Contributions can be made via cash, check or credit card. Other forms of contributions can include the transfer of title to marketable stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.

Yes. Commitments can be updated at any time.

No. Anyone can contribute to God's work in our church. Participating in the NLC Capital Stewardship Campaign is a personal decision for each of us.

A commitment card is a statement of intent—not a contract. If your financial circumstances change significantly, your giving should also change. Simply contact the church to adjust your commitment pledge. Letting the church know about the change (increase, decrease, or timing) in your giving allows us to plan wisely.

Yes. Only our membership services staff have knowledge of pledges and giving records.

We are asking that you begin making your weekly, monthly, or annual contributions towards your pledge on Celebration Sunday, June 12, 2011.

We are asking for a three year financial response that formally begins in May 2011. You decide your personal giving schedule whether weekly, monthly, quarterly, one-time contributions, asset transfers, or another schedule of your choice. Decide upon a plan that works best for you and then communicate it to the church to help us understand your giving plan.

Yes, annual statements will be distributed for all contributions given during a calendar year that will reflect the actual amount given during that year. These statements can be used to support tax deductible contributions according to IRS rules and regulations. For more information please see IRS publication 1771.
